TL;DR

An empirical comparison of existing algorithms for the computer generation of exact D-optimal experimental designs is carried out and a modification of the Fedorov algorithm is given and shown to effect substantial decreases in the computer time required for design generation.

Abstract

An empirical comparison of existing algorithms for the computer generation of exact D-optimal experimental designs is carried out. Among algorithms considered were those due to Wyrnn, Mitchell, Fedorov, and Van Schalkwyk. A procedure for rounding off approximate designs as suggested by Kiefer is also evaluated. A modification of the Fedorov algorithm is given and shown to effect substantial decreases in the computer time required for design generation.
